4 Preface The Natural Gas Monthly (NGM) highlights activities, events, and analyses of interest to public and private sector organizations associated with the natural gas industry. Volume and price data are presented each month for natural gas production, distribution, consumption, and interstate pipeline activities. Producer related activities and underground storage data are also reported. The data in this publication are collected on surveys conducted by the EIA to fulfill its responsibilities for gathering and reporting energy data. Geographic coverage is the 50 s and the District of Columbia. Explanatory Notes supplement the information found in tables of the report. A description of the data collection surveys that support the NGM is provided in the Data Sources section. A glossary of the terms used in this report is also provided to assist readers in understanding the data presented in this publication. All natural gas volumes are reported at a pressure base of pounds per square inch absolute (psia) and at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Cubic feet are converted to cubic meters by applying a factor of iv U.S. Energy Information Administration Natural Gas Monthly

7 Highlights This issue of the Natural Gas Monthly (NGM) contains state and national level estimates of natural gas volume and price data through March Recent analyses of the natural gas industry are available on the EIA Web Site by clicking the Natural Gas link under the Sources & Uses tab. The two reports listed under Regular Weekly Releases along the right side of the natural gas page are updated regularly. These reports are: Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report a weekly report containing estimates of natural gas in underground storage for the United s and five regions of the United s released each Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at the EIA Web site, except for certain weeks with Federal holidays. The report contains estimates of storage for the current and prior week and comparisons to previous periods. Links are provided to papers describing survey Form EIA 912, "Weekly Underground Natural Gas Storage Report," and the estimation methodology. Natural Gas Weekly Update a current analysis of the industry each week, including information on natural gas spot and futures prices and storage activities. This page also provides links to numerous other EIA sites dealing with natural gas. Other natural gas data and analyses may be found through the Natural Gas section of EIA s web site.

The ratio of annual supplemental fuels (excluding Dakota Gasification Co.) to the sum of dry gas production, net imports, and net withdrawals from storage is calculated. This ratio is applied to the monthly sum of these three elements. The Dakota Gasification Co. monthly value is added to the result to produce the monthly supplemental fuels estimate. d Monthly and annual data for 2011 through 2014 include underground storage and liquefied natural gas storage. Data for January 2015 forward include underground storage only.

Monthly lease and plant fuel use is estimated from monthly marketed production by assuming that the preceding annual percentage remains constant for the next 12 months. b Published pipeline and distribution use data are based on reports collected on an annual basis. Monthly pipeline and distribution use data are estimated from monthly total consumption (excluding pipeline and distribution use) by assuming that the preceding annual percentage remains constant for the next 12 months. Pipeline and distribution use volumes include Line Loss, defined as known volumes of natural gas that were the result of leaks, damage, accidents, migration, and/or blow down. c Heating value is the average number of British thermal units per cubic foot of natural gas as reported on EIA 857 and EIA 176.

Alliance moves saturated natural gas from the border to a processing plant in Illinois. After the adjustment, volumes of imported natural gas on this pipeline are on the same physical basis as other reported volumes of pipeline imports. b For the "Other" area the point of origin for volumes of imported LNG was unassigned in the reports to the Office of Fossil Energy.

RE Revised estimated data. Notes: For 2014, monthly volumes are available only for those states/areas that were collected individually on the EIA 914 Survey (Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, and the Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico) and Alaska. Starting in 2015, 10 states (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, and West Virginia) were added to the EIA 914 data collection and are reported individually. The remaining states/areas (Alabama, Arizona, Federal Offshore Pacific, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Virginia) are grouped in the "Other s" category. Monthly preliminary state level data for all states not collected individually on the EIA 914 survey are available after the final annual reports for these series are collected and processed. Final annual data are generally available in the third quarter of the following year. The sum of individual states may not equal total U.S. volumes due to independent rounding.
